Great Neck!

I bought one of these through-body necks about 8 years ago for an early guitar build (Rickenbacker 325 style, but full-scale) that my father was helping me with. This neck arrived with nicely finished frets and enough material on the headstock to cut a wide variety of designs. I was however somewhat dismayed that the neck heel began quite a distance from the 24th fret, as it took some time for me to use a spoke shave and other appropriate tools to make a longer playing area on the back of the neck. After gluing up the swamp ash body sides and routing the contours/cavities, I could see that the finished product would indeed look very niceùpossibly more interesting than the guitars I was modeling. I didnÆt realize it would have so much sustain though! I've now been playing this guitar for years, complete with Golden Age humbuckers, and I absolutely love this instrument. The neck profile allows for extremely fast playing and is comfortable for any playing style. IÆve received countless comments about it, regarding both looks and tone, and I couldnÆt be too much happier with it!

easy

It's a great price considering all the work and material it takes to make one.. only complaint would have to be the nut.. there was about 2mm of glue under the nut which was too high.. after chiseling the glue off it was the right height.. wished there was some wood between the truss rod's adjustable nut and the nut too.

Left handed Use

I am using the through-neck on a guitar building school project. I found that I could adapt it for left handed use easily. I also found the adaption for a Les Paul bridge setup not too difficult. Summary- excellent neck

Well made, but.....

The fret work on this neck is high quality, but I concur with Kik on the heel beginning at the 16th fret. I will have to rework it so that the entire fingerboard is accessible. A 2-2 1/2 inch thickness would make it easier to form an angle between the neck and body. The day of the flat guitar is long gone. Good neck, work required.

Neck Through Construction

The neck through construction is a quality piece that allows me to make my own custom design headstock that is the standing mark of my custom electric guitars. I rated it only good because I wish they would make it with different degree's of headstock angle. Other than that, the necks are great and I like the double octave scale of 25".
